Hey, Look at THESE Numbers

  • Chicago police shot fewer people in 2015 than recent years despite police-involved shootings that have drawn national headlines.

    The Chicago Tribune reports officers shot 22 people last year, eight of them fatally. That's a 40 percent dip in the total number compared with 2014 when 37 people were shot and 16 killed.
A 40% drop? How is that possible? We saw a nearly 11% increase in homicides and just short of 3,000 people shot...is the media now saying that cops aren't responsible for the massive uptick in bloodshed?

Well, here's an article by the New York Post that pretty much takes on the issue of "law enforcement is out of control" narrative and burns it to the ground:
  • To hear the media tell it, America is in the grip of an unprecedented crime wave, an orgy of wanton murder in which heavily armed thugs randomly gun down innocent unarmed people, some of them teens, just for sport.

    Except that these homicidal goons are wearing the blues and badges of American police departments.

    It’s the narrative that’s given rise to the protest movement Black Lives Matter and to a growing public mistrust of the police in general. From Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., to the recent shooting of a middle-aged woman and a teen in Chicago, the body count seemingly keeps rising, exacerbating racial tensions and keeping the nation on edge. And each incident is breathlessly reported by a media determined to show that America remains deeply, irredeemably racist.

    Problem is, it’s simply not true.
But, but, but....the media lied? The politicians lied? The "revrunds" lied? Rahm threw everyone under a bus for a lie? DeEscalante is being used to rewrite the entire Use of Force model over a pack of lies? BLM is based on propagating a lie?

Yeah, pretty much. And it remains to be seen how much damage they will continue to do to working cops rather than look in a mirror.

SO what kinda of arrest number were had in 2015?

How about contact cards?

My favorite is actual arrest for homicides that lead to prosecutions?

Anyone know the number for offenders released without charging?

Agg Bats to p.o.'s? how many felony approvals?

How about how many cases are dropped in court proceeding by Anita and her crew?

Homicide numbers are a bore because the emergency rooms save these poor slobs.

The amount of offenders shot by the police in chicago is down for 1 reason and 1 readon only. We, as a police force, are Much much less proactive than in years past due to the obvious current events and a liberl and biased news media. Period. Case closed. You can have the liberal utpoia you wanted! CHECK PLEASE. IM OUT!

There is a sick communist agenda behind this pack of disgusting lies. Undermining the trust of the public in their police is necessary for communists. The police are a massive armed force of the people that will be the first to stand in the way of a tyrannical takeover. This is a threat the communists do not want.

Don't you realize it is not how many we shot, it's the optics of who we shot. What percentage of those shot by the police were of a dusky complexion? How many could be Obama's children? The media always follow the lead and narrative of O, their president.

BLM only exists to change policing policies in order to maintain the prolific criminal life style of their community. They want police off their game in order to continue, dope slinging, robbing, and all the other criminal activity that is the norm in the community.
There is money to be made by such a "crisis."

It just seems as if there are more killings by Police because the rotten media shows available video thousands of times.

Maybe the next time it becomes necessary for a police officer to shoot some thug and there is video, CPD can supply them with an 8th grade graduation photo of the officer involved wearing a cap and gown. Turnabout if fair play.

What one person (I can't even say man) has done to this country in a mire 7 years defies belief. Starting before his "beer summit", which we know his friend was wrong but he won't admit it, to him personally sending the DOJ into anyplace he feels like.

Could this mean....does it mean...the police were right all along? Do the families of all those...diversity...need to return all those millions of dollars now? Should elementary schools now teach "When the man with the gun and badge says "drop it" and he's pointing his gun at you, you drop your gun/knife/bat or whatever your holding."?
Oh my God! What will this lead to? Personal responsibility?!

Why not put up a little box, upper right-hand spot on web page, with the simple figures? That way, everyone who visits this site sees the truth every time. An occasional update would keep it current.

Final 2015 Totals
Shot & Killed: 442
Shot & Wounded: 2553
Total Shot: 2995

Police-involved shootings

So the Chicago Police Department in reality, has really been doing a good job in its education of officers and their restraint in the use of deadly force even though the city is experiencing a spike in deadly violent crimes and offenders armed with deadly weapons.
This article by the Washington post however does not fit the devils, black lives matter or the race baiters narrative.
The reality is there needs to be an overhaul by society who has been brainwashed by the media, politicians and race baiters that the law of the jungle is the new law of the land.
Tell me how we have as a society have gotten to the point where certain young men of primarily one specific race can violate the law prompting a police response and then when they don't obey lawful police commands and wind up dead or shot by the police, the original crime that prompted the police response is forgotten and the narrative turns to trigger happy police.
Well this is what happens when a certain segment of society is allowed to ignore the law of the land and lives by the law of the jungle. Those who enforce the law of the land will always be the enemy of those who live by the law of the jungle. Wake the frick up you fricken sheep and realize you are being led down the road to the jungle where there is no law ,the wild and ferocious animals are a protected species with no fear of the game warden and when attacked by a wild animal you will prosecuted if you kill or maim one of these protected animals.

When you get down to it this whole thing is MEDIA driven.Who controls the the Press? What is their agenda? This goes back to the 1960's when these so called reporters were in college and out there protesting.They create an issue so they can relive the "good ol'days".Never mind looking for facts(M.Preib can tell you about Illustrious Northwestern Univ. and Anthony Porter case) when you can stir people up on what THEY think the problem is.None of these hate mongers had the stones to ever talk to a source that told a different viewpoint.Too much work. And we , the Police, have no Spokesman.This has been in the making for the past 35 years.A true democracy needs a strong and HONEST media, not the hacks we have now. Look at the Journalism schools in our halls of higher learning.The problem is there, not with the Police.

Then we have this announcement coming later today:
Newly appointed police review board chief to announce staffing overhaul

Amid unrelenting outcry surrounding controversial police-involved shootings in Chicago, the newly appointed Independent Police Review Authority head plans to announce Monday the restructuring of the agency's senior leadership and other personnel changes.

IPRA's acting chief administrator Sharon Fairley plans to address the staffing overhaul and her vision for the agency going forward at a news conference Monday afternoon, according to the authority. The changes will include the hiring of a new chief of staff and chief investigator; establishing a community outreach manager for support and communication with complainants and witnesses; and a revamping of the legal team for additional oversight of the investigative process.

Fairley was appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel in early December. Her formal introduction came hours after the U.S. Justice Department announced a wide-ranging civil rights probe into the Chicago Police Department, including its use of deadly force.

Since her appointment, Fairley also has turned over the administrative investigation into the shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald to the Chicago Office of the Inspector General and reopened the IPRA investigation surrounding the treatment of Philip Coleman, a 38-year-old man whom Chicago police tasered in his jail cell and dragged down a Chicago police station hallway in a 2012 encounter that was caught on surveillance cameras.

Fairley was a federal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago for eight years and served for about eight months as first deputy and general counsel at the city's Office of Inspector general!

Analysis: * months chiraq experience, clouted in will turn many cases of police conduct good or bad over to feds to drum up civil rights violations! 9161 response? As head of FBI said not long ago "police are fetal" if the head of the FBI gives you this hint and you want to lose your family-career-freedom-homes-pension-health then go get them "hard chargers" listen to pathetic bosses that let you wear jeans and backward ball caps! #bluelivesmatter #bluelivesfamiliesmatter!!

Why would you think that the suburbanites who travel into the city, get drunk, and piss on your lawns after the game
would stand up to anyone. While in the city they think that they are invisible and can shit on your door step and leave.
How many PO's have challenged a pisser and got nothing but attitude in return. They don't care about our home. They tell us how to act, how to live, and force you to associate with the criminal element, and other dangerous persons who will harm us, while telling us that this is the correct coarse of action for our community. They return home to reside in a place where they
don't have to face or confront the danger, all the while looking down on us. If you think that any of these people have your back you are extremely simple minded.

Only problem is that the most screwed up cities in the country is run by Democrats who caused the problems, but again the ignorant masses can not see that. Facts do not matter. Hands up don't shoot!

Remember, is an "epidemic". "All" of these police shooting happening. Over 150,000 arrests per year happen in the city of Chicago each year. About 10,000 of those are guns. Over 600,000 rd numbers generated, over 1 million incidents of police interaction (event numbers) per year and of all those interactions the police ONLY had to shoot 22 people... Pretty great numbers if you ask me. Tons of interactions, many of them violent and only 22 shootings. Oh yeah, 3000 shot and another 500 killed and only 22 police shootings

Uhh, there is no reference to the New York Times in this SCC post.

The article referenced is in the New York post [a very conservative paper owned by Rupert Murdock] that quotes from the Washington Post story that which, while accurately quoting shooting statistics, did indeed have a liberal bias built into it's story.

Why am I pointing out that your post is filled with so much misinformation? It's not to belittle you [after all, it's anonymous] nor is it being the spelling or grammer police.

I'm pointing out that your post is a spot on example of what is wrong with the media in general and particularly the internet:bad information, be it intentional or by mistake, and then people taking it at face value rather than doing a bit of research on their own.

I've always said that being the police, ultimately, is being a seeker of the truth.

Everything is that is happening in this country is all by design, socialist/communist/marxist design by the name of the Socialist Democratic Party and obama is their front man assigned to get the job done of implementing a bloodless coup...and he is doing just that. Go to the libray and pick up a copy of the "bible" of the Left by the title of Rules For Radicals, written by Chicago communist Saul Alinsky. Read the eight rules on how leftists take down a country and "fundamentally" change it into a leftist "utopia" the likes of Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, to name a few "utopias." Have the library get you a copy if they don't have one, or you can Google the words Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals and the list of the eight rules. This is our World War II, except the enemy is on our shores and has infiltrated this country. Learn what the Left does and is planning to do to the Constitution, the Amendments, you and I and our families. Fight back like the freedom fighers of WWII did in Europe against the Nazis. Push back and refuse to obey any move of the Left against our God given rights under the Constitution, and keep a low profile. Obama is dismantling the Constitution, piece by piece and he must not succeed. His current push is to deny us our 2nd Amendment right to bear and own guns, bit by bit. The hell we will! Know your enemy and turn what you know against them. See you at the 2016 Presidential elections. And remember the names Donald Trump and Ted Cruz..our only hope for the future of this country.

I guess nobody wants to hear the opinions of Hispanic or white groups. Well I guess Chicago doesn't need White or Hispanics unless of course they are Democratics. This should not be a problem just look at Detroit, Memphis, Baltimore, etc, etc. Whites and independent Blacks and Hispanics control the businesses, crest the jobs, pay the taxes, when they go so does the city. Money is like water, it finds its own level. Don't think so, just look at South Africa that worked well.

Well this is dumbest thing I've read today.

That's exactly what happened in Baltimore, and it didn't end well for the few Orioles fans who decided to do exactly what you wanted bears fans to do. It also started the first day of rioting, unofficially. Sure, defend your self, but don't be stupid and attack protesters.

So prevalent is this material that it seems to be machine-written, spun out by the mile. It pours forth from the mouths of "spokespersons" for -- well, any entity at all, any government agency or corporation or NGO.

These are the people crowded onto the top of our inverted-pyramid economy -- an endless number of them, with the entire weight balanced on the backs of the diminishing number of productive workers.

A. This is going to cost a lot of money.
